Hot take: If gamers spent half of the energy that was used on discussion forums the past 20 years arguing about this dumb hobby we love on something more productive, we probably would have a cure for cancer right now

Lol, ain't that the truth! I would know about four programming languages fluently and could probably be on double my current salary if I'd put all of that time & effort into something that would help my career instead of videogame forums!
EDIT - also, I have about 20 people to reply to but I think I'll wait until we're on the next topic because I tend to take ages replying and if it gets cut off when this topic is locked I will loose the whole post!
Damn Sony forcing 3rd Party devs to make gifs too.
They can't keep getting away with it!
Is Debra Wilson just in every game?? Props and happy birthday to her though, didn't even realize that was her.
I saw the tweet on Twitter and thought nothing of it.
Only now have I noticed it, lol.
Nobody. We're stuck here for all eternity. This showcaseless OT. This is where dreams die, where our ambitions fade and all hope gets lost.
Ah, OT40. Or some say Official Thread 40. Do you hear our prayers? No! We shall not abandon the dream! No one can catch us, no one can stop us now!
Awhoooooooooooooooo
That's a ton of money, damn.
I wonder if Sony is still licking their Bungie wounds?

Would be a huge waste of money either way imo. Put money towards Remedy or something.
He would also love to close the studio as soon as it doesnt meet his expectatives
lol took me a bit
Damn.
No wonder the business people surrounding Shift Up CEO told him to not do Stellar Blade and focus on other types of projects with higher profitability instead.
The game they are hiring for now seems a ambitious gacha, it would be a shame if they stopped doing SP stuff after Stellar Blade though I guess it makes sense from a business perspective.
Between this and Metro Awakening, I'm pretty buzzed about what else might get announced for the rest of the year.
Astro Bot, please be Astro Bot.
Estimated value is too expensive but wouldn't be shocked Sony invest in them once Shift Up goes Public as a company similar to what they did with Devolver Digital.
Haven't they become a public company a while ago and their valuation is 2.3 billion? I don't think Sony would buy them for such an amount for just one game.
In addition, Tencent owns a very large stake in the company, which is 24%.

Ronin is very fun! It's a bit of a slow burn at first, and combat doesn't initially feel like there's a lot of meat on it, but it doesn't take too long for the game to open up and spread its wings, and then it gets its hooks into you.
I highly recommend it!
If you decide to play it, one bit of advice I'll give you is to not get too distracted by the side stuff until you reach Yokohama and complete the available Inventor quests there. After completing his quest line, you should have all the primary abilities you need to make exploration more fun. I won't list them here to avoid spoiling things, but, yeah, I think I sunk a good 15+ hours into the game before doing that, and after, I was like, "God dammit, I should have done this sooner, because now I can 100% clear all regions!" lol
Yeah, the gameplay loop is immensely satisfying and addicting, and it's one of the few games where I don't avoid random combat encounters I come across, because the combat is so fun. I think the atmosphere of the game is just fantastic, even if the world doesn't have a ton of interactivity (most open world games don't, to be honest).
I'm feeling similarly to Stellar Blade. It has great visuals, atmosphere, music, and satisfying and fun combat. It just sucks that it's undermined by the juvenile fan service titillation stuffed in there. The game is really good, and all the superfluous T&A isn't adding anything to it, but is definitely detracting from it.
I think Ronin is easily one of my favorite games of the year, and I've been playing some excellent games (Prince of Persia, FFVII: Rebirth, Persona 3 Reload, Stellar Blade, etc).
I'd put Dragon's Dogma 2 on the list maybe, but, honestly, I haven't thought about it much due to playing the games above and Ronin. I think I sunk about 40+ hours into DD2. It's just too much of a time sink, and not because of how packed with content it is, but mostly because just getting from point A to point B is a trek and a half, so I have to make sure when I play that I've carved out plenty of game time. I definitely like it a lot, but the games I mentioned above I've been having more moment to moment fun with.
So no leaks for the enxt PS+ games? i hate when the month ends like this way on a stupid cliffhanger so we have to wait another week to get the games instead of today.
Since Returnal is on everyone's mind with it's 3rd Year Anniversary Celebratory News, I thought I'd share an interview I did with Jane Perry, the voice of Selene, from a few years ago.

I also chatted with Anne Beyer, the face actor for Selene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmGY2GPsm9U
And then I interviewed them both at the same time, lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGXZVPoa27M
We need a sequel ASAP!
